Men Man MEN mAn



The first annual MAN weekend is here! The week started out with a trip to Houston, and is ending with me in Minneapolis with my bros Keith and Dan (otherwise known as the big show). I don't have words for how excited I am about this weekend. Saturday we are going to see Purdue pound on Minnesota in the dome, and then Sunday we are heading over to John Piper's church. I couldn't script this any better.

Let the smelly manness begin!

Maybe you know this, but Bethlehem Baptist (where Piper is the pastor) has three twin cities campuses. Piper preaches live at the Saturday evening downtown campus, which is videotaped, and then each Sunday morning he is at one of the three locations live while the other two get the videotaped sermon from Saturday night.

The services with the videotaped sermon still have live worship and a pastor leading them, and having a videotaped sermon on a big screen is not as lacking as one would think -- so they are still very good. But if you want to meet Piper in person you will want to go Saturday night (at 5:30) or find out which campus he will be at this Sunday (I think at the south campus but I'm not sure).

She went Skyyyyydivin.....

I took Annie skydiving on Saturday for her birthday. Rather then trying to explain the experience, you can watch it here: Saturday we kicked it old school with a small group slumber party. A little Balderdash, a few Saved By The Bell episodes, lots of candy and cake, and a few rip roarin games of Pit. It was like we were in junior high again, except with a few less zits. I will post some pics from that another day.

some thoughts before bedtime

I went to a retreat this weekend with about 40 of the men from Summit. The first night there, I had a discussion with a guy about Jesus and “social justice”. I really don’t know how we got on to this subject, but he went into what I would describe as a rant about how Jesus never called us to social action. I don’t know him and had never met him before that evening, but something about his tone and the heart behind what he was saying really bothered me. The rest of the evening I couldn’t get this conversation off my mind. It just seemed like a ludicrous point to make. Was he trying to make excuses for not getting out of his bubble to server others? Am I just as bad as this guy? Earlier that day I had read an article about the International Justice Mission in Relevant. The guy who started it, Gary Haugen, got his Law degree from Harvard and then decided to start IJM. He did so after he had heard all these storied from Christian missionaries who would come back and tell of all the atroci...

There was no way around it, no place to hide. 30 was coming and there was nothing I could do about it. Slowly it creped up on me over 12 months, and now it is here. I am 30 years old. I sure as heck didn't let it take me without a fight! Wed night, Annie surprised me with a turtle pie during small group. She definately knows how to get straight to my heart. Thursday, I took the day off of work! I was able to catch up on some compilations I have been working on forever, wrote some music, drank several cups of coffee, went thrifting, watched Steve's keynote at Macworld, etc. Thursday night, Annie and I went to Pucket (awesome Thai place) followed by VIP seats at Monico. No one under the age of 21 was allowed in the theatre! Good times had by all. Friday night, I had 12 guys over to play video games. We had 2 projectors (Wii, Gamecube), 2 TVs, a Genesis, an Atari, some Guitar Hero, a little Sam Adams, and some Chicken Mariachi from Denatos. I schooled Geoff in some NHL '94, wh...
